The Dodgers need some help here. So this Son is going to a road game to support them--heading right into the lion's den of enemy territory on Sunday afternoon. This would make the Sons' second away game this year (Nomo saw the Dodgers lose in Anaheim in June).

I'm definitely wearing a Dodgers cap and t-shirt. I'm not afraid of Giants fans throwing their biscotti at me, or attacking me with their outstretched pinky while they try not to spill their chardonnay. But the question I have for you readers is, what other equipment should I be packing?

The "Beat LA" chants are an annoyance at worst. They don't even realize they have Celtics fans to thank for that.

And their garlic fries suck balls.

Seriously, don't worry about physical altercations, relax, and have fun watching our team beat the piss out of them. Most of the "fans" there can't tell the difference between a fastball and a curveball, and just want to enjoy the game, too.

I was actually threatened with a baseball bat by a toothless drunk Giants fan at a game there once, for wearing my Dodgers cap. The Giants were playing the Cubs that day, which for some reason made my Dodgers cap even more insulting.

Another time I went to the third game of a three game series in which the Dodgers had one the first two, and I brought a blue broom. I didn't make any new friends that day either, but I survived.

If the situation arises for you on Sunday, Sax, you are welcome to borrow my broom to take with you. Wish I could make it Sunday myself, but the baseball team I play for has a game at the same time.

Ok, the worst thing about a game in SF is this: 8th inning, they play Journey. Now if it was DSB I would have been ok, but no, they play lights. Nothing worse than a whole crowd of people, annoying, irritating people, sings; "ooo i want to be there in my city, ohoh ohohohoh ohoh mmmmhmhm ohoh ohohoh ohoh"

I've never actually been inside the Phone Booth, but I did take a pic of me mooning it while going to the Treasure Island Music Fest once. All of my experiences were in Candlestick and that place was a lot rowdier--despite never being anywhere near full.

Like Pistol Pete I got pushed from behind, too! I guess that's a thing with them, they're used to getting it from behind? Also had a souvenir helmet thrown at me once. My cousin got into a fight up there, and while I'll admit that my cousin is an idiot, he didn't start it. He punched some drunk asshole, but the guy definitely had it coming. And, of course, he was the only one who got into any trouble.

Mr. F nailed it, they'd rather watch the Dodgers lose than see the Giants win.
